Collins Educational Trust has been funding the education journey for disadvantaged people with talent for nearly 20 years and we plan to use our assets to continue this important work, long into the future.
Our ambition is to grow and support greater numbers of individuals in accessing the education and training that will make a difference to their lives. To do this we are always looking for partner organisations and individuals to support our work and provide the opportunity for growth.
Corporate organisations, grant funders and in philanthropic individuals can all support in our journey, and be part of our success”
At the Collins Educational Trusts, we know that the investment we make in people’s lives through our bursaries and fee support programs has a real impact on what they go on to do in later life.
Whilst we can’t predict where an individual’s career path will take them, but we do know that the life opportunities and skills we help to promote will ultimately benefit our wider communities and employers.
If you are considering how your business or organisation can invest in the futures of a broad range of learners, we would welcome the chance to talk through the opportunities for sponsorship or a corporate social responsibility partnership. We would be very happy to share more details of our governance, financial strategy, and objectives with you.
We firmly believe in demonstrating and sharing the real impact our work has through the stories and successes of our learners. We are also keen to learn how to be the very best of corporate partners, so we would welcome your thoughts on how we can work with you and perhaps benefit from some of the skills and experience held within your organisation.
Please get in touch to start an informal conversation of how we could work together and help us support talent and create real equal life opportunities.
If we have approached you for funding support, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to find out everything about us. We know how important it is for you to understand who we are and what do.
We are a charitable trust, registered with the Charity Commission (1114120) and as you will see from our entry our aim is to “help young people and children in their education and training by making grants to individuals” We know that you will want to know much more about us, so with this in mind we have thought about some of the things you might want to take a look at and included some links below:

The Collins Educational Trusts was founded on the generosity and forward vision of one man, Mr. Roy Collins, but CET Trustees know there are many other families and individuals who share the ambition of our charity to provide the very best opportunities for learners.
By increasing the assets held by the Trust, we can offer more support and funding to individuals across the country, opening more doors, helping make dreams become a reality and enabling us to achieve our goal of improving social mobility.
If you would like to support our valuable work and be part of an important social philanthropy effort by way of a donation or a bequest in your will, we would very much welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you.
You might be considering an in-life donation or planning your estate and inheritance management with an eye on maximising the tax benefits of charitable giving. Whatever your plans, we would be happy to share more details of our governance, financial strategy, and objectives with you.
We understand how important it is for donors and the families of benefactors to see the impact of their generosity, so we pledge to share stories and successes as our learners go onto make the very most of their opportunities.
